CURTAIN-ROD BRACKET.

Application filed August 17, 1912.

To alt whom it may concern allingtord, county of New Haven, State ofCoimecticut,-l1ave invented certain new and useful Improvements inCurtain-Rod Brackets,-of which the following is a full,

vide a bracket of an yet eflective form,

clear, and exact descriptioni My invention relates-to an-improy'ed curetain rod bracket, the object being to proexceedingly simple and saidbracket being so ie onstructed that it may readily be appliedtlCtllllIlY to Figs. 3 and v{ried by the rod end 2 andwhen' in placewill not become .accidentally disengaged. v

In the drawings, Figure l is a front vele-- vation of myimproved curtainrod bracket,

showing the parts in section; ig. 2 is a plan, View thereof, also showng'parts in sectlon; Fig. 31s a relatively enlarged; detail viewyFig. 4is asimilar' 'vie'wg and, a Fig. 3.l

Inthe-parti'cular form shown, the brackets have rod "ends 2 3respectively, which receive the bracket connections. A description of asingle. bracket connection will be suificient inasmuch as the connectionfor both braclc ets corresponds. -Referring therefore par- 4, it will beseen that the bracket rod end 2 therein shown is provided with a sleeve4:, which'is slidable on the rod end 2- and limited in its slidingmovement by means of a pin 5, which'is carand projects through a slot 6.6 isan -otl set portion of the slot 6, which-forms a partial returnbend. This slotserves to permitthe sleeve a to slide to and fro and tobe rotated partially so that the shank of-the'stud or pin may be shiftedinto the'return bend part 6 of the slot when the curtain rod connectoris in operative position, as shown in Fig. 1.

In the preferred form ofthis means, frictional resistance is employed and to forward end of the,sleeve 4 forms a socket which receives and holds the end of shared 1.
